Camera Raw and Mac 10.5.6, CS3 and Canon 5D Mark II

Just got the 5D Mark II and have CS3 installed (Mac OS). Is there an update for Camera Raw - Photoshop cannot read the files

Gordon,
Jeff just gave you the solution. You must first convert your raw files to DNG files with the latest version of the DNG Converter, 5.2.
Then you can open those DNG files with ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 4.6 hosted by CS3.
You will never be able to open your Canon raw files from that camera directly in CS3. CS3 is not shipping anymore, so there will be no updates for it, ever. You will have to convert your files every time you shoot with that camera, until you upgrade to CS4.
However, Adobe Camera Raw 5.2 is soooooo far ahead of ACR 4.x, that upgrading to CS4 just to use ACR 5.2 is a no-brainer. I upgraded on that basis alone myself.
If you do upgrade,
this book
is highly recommended reading for you.

  • What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
    What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
    Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
    So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

  • Will there be a Camera Raw update For Elements 10 for the new Canon 5D Mark 3?

    I have the new Canon 5D.  Love the results but, I can not process the photos in Lightroom 4 or Elements 10.  I downloaded the update for CS5 to see if there was a work around but I don't know my way around the software.  It looks like someone dropped the ball big time on this one.

    Ok, so what is so different in the Camera Raw for CS5/CS6 Beta vs Elements?  You would think that they would be both the same!  There are a lot of professionals like myself bought their Canon 5D Mk 3 thinking that the software would be there to support the camera release.  Sure, I am also wondering why Canon hasn't done an update with the release.   This feels like buying a car and some day in the future - we don't know when there will be road that you can drive it on.
    Tried to convert the Mk 3 DNG files. Didn't work.  Get a purple or pink cover over the images.  It works great with my 7D files.
    If I had a Camera to fall back on I wouldn't be so desperate but my Canon 7D (Which I have enjoyed for the last two years) was destroyed in a accident the day before the Canon 5D mark 3 was anounced.  So, I am starting from scratch and I need access to my Raw files to get my work done.  Working with Canon Software is not what I would use in a productive work flow.  If this was a hobby - OK but for production work, I need the right tools and right now, LR 4 which is the back bone of my work is useless.

  • Camera Raw disappeared Mac OS 10.6.8 CS5 Extended v12.0

    Camera Raw disappeared Mac OS 10.6.8 CS5 Extended v12.0. So has my Microtek Scanner (crashes). I've been told that upgrading to OS 10.6.8 caused corruption to the drivers. But both worked for long time with 10.6.8.
    I had Camera Raw but haven't used it for long time. Now it is just not there. I reinstalled it and today, installed the patch. But still no Camera Raw. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Where are you trying to look for Camera Raw? From inside of Photoshop? If so, you won't "find it" because Camera Raw is called on when you open a raw digital capture.
    Try opening Bridge and navigate to a folder with digital images, then open the image from Bridge, it should launch Camera Raw. If it doesn't either you are not opening a raw image or Camera Raw is not installed.
    Camera Raw can also open flat TIFFs and JPEGs, you can use the Bridge command Open in Camera Raw under the Fie menu...

  • How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon.  i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer.  On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented.  On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures.  On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file.  I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work.  I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
    I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon?  (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
    Cheers.

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

  • Camera Raw 3.8? - Photoshop CS2 useless with Canon G9?

    I use Photoshop CS2 with Camera Raw 3.7 and I am very satisfied with it. Now I am thinking of buying a Canon Powershot G9, but I am worried about raw-file support in Camera Raw. I see that Camera Raw 4.3 have support for several new Canon cameras, (not yet G9) but will Camera Raw 3.7 be updated with the new cameras? Otherwise I will feel tricked by Adobe.

    ACR 4.3 does support the power shot G9 according to the specs.
    There will be no updates for CS2. You are left with two options:
    upgrade to CS3
    use the DNG route. DNG 4.3 converter to convert the RAW from G9 to DNG and that will open in CS2 RAW.

  • How can I update Camera raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i?

    How can I update Camera Raw for Photoshop CS5 to access images from Canon Rebel T4i? The updated version of Camera Raw 7 says it only works with CS6. Outside of buying a new Photoshop, is there anything I can do?

    Buy Lightroom (much cheaper alternative to Photoshop) - does all your 'Photo-related' tasks. Full version of LightRoom 4 is $149/- - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html
    LightRoom 4 supports ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 7. Once processed with Lightroom, if you still need, you could take the photo in JPG or TIFF format into Photoshop CS5 for further processing.
    Another option is to use Canon Raw Codec that would've come with your camera's box to process the RAW images and then take them into Photoshop.

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
    External drives if you need more space.
    However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
    Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
    Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
    Rack your brain here on it.

    When I download and try to install Camera RAW 4.6 on my Mac (OSX 10.7.5, Safari browser) I get the following message "Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file."  Suggestions?

    You're trying to open the plug-in instead of manually installing it in the appropriate location (folder) and then relaunching Photoshop.

  • How to instal camera raw in mac

    Hi, I'd be obliged if someone could advise me how to instal camera raw 8 into an imac.
    many thanks

    If you have Photoshop CS6 or higher, you already have Adobe Camera Raw 8.  What you want is to update ACR to version 8.6.  You can do that automatically through the Help > Updates menu item.
    If you have a lower version of Photoshop, you cannot run any version of ACR 8.x.
    If you don't have Photoshop at all, then you need to buy it first.
    For the next time you post, please give explicit, detailed information:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
